Reviews:
Alexander Aleksy, played enigmatically by Delil Baran, is a highlight. He is a violent man with an endless well of mysteries swirling in his gentle eyes. He and Grunn’s Reed are the emotional heartbeat of this story, and I expect to see more of them in the future - signalhorizon.com
The performances by the unknown cast are uniformly good, with Delil Baran standing out as Alexander Alexy, a man who is always smarter than anyone he encounters.
Alexy is an interesting character and a true enigma for much of the film. He is never what he seems to be, and his arc will surprise those paying attention. Baran inhabits this strange man with an uncanny knack for survival completely and proves he is an actor to watch. Alexy’s design, with his tilted brim hat, dark clothing, and envious determination, suggests moments of Daniel Plainview from Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood” and director Lawson introduces the character in a visual homage to Anderson’s film. - themoviereveue.com
The music accompanies strong performances by the cast. In particular, Delil Baran’s performance as the eccentric young criminal Alexander Aleksy is phenomenal. Baran achieves maximum tension in the opening scene of the film, proving Aleksy to be a force to be reckoned with, despite (but also specifically because of) his calm tone and demeanor. - obsessiveviewer.com
Aleksy is played by Delil Baran in a performance of delicious charisma and mystery. He’s the highlight of the picture, always seemingly a few steps of the other characters. - thefilmyap.com
Baran makes fascinating choices as Aleksy- I think he will be someone to keep an eye on as well. - denofcinema.com
